I'm so happy with the first sock, and I even started working on the second one. The detail in the sock makes it look so much more complicated than it is. The pattern is really easy to knit. It's by Miriam Felton at http://www.mimknits.com and is called Simply Trekking Socks.

I'm also working on a simple scarf for my husband with a size 11 needle. It is amazing how different it feels to work on these needles after using the size 1 double points. Even though the scarf works up so quickly, it really isn't as satisfying to knit. To think that I used to refuse to knit on anything smaller than a six.
